Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the meek, so as to heal the contrite of heart, to preach leniency to captives and release to the confined,
Duh je Gospoda Boga na meni, jer me Gospod pomaza da javljam dobre glase krotkima, posla me da zavijem ranjene u srcu, da oglasim zarobljenima slobodu i sužnjima da æe im se otvoriti tamnica.
2 and so to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vindication of our God: to console all who are mourning,
Da oglasim godinu milosti Gospodnje i dan osvete Boga našega, da utješim sve žalosne,
3 to take up the mourners of Zion and to give them a crown in place of ashes, an oil of joy in place of mourning, a cloak of praise in place of a spirit of grief. And there, they shall be called the strong ones of justice, the planting of the Lord, unto glorification.
Da uèinim žalosnima u Sionu i dam im nakit mjesto pepela, ulje radosti mjesto žalosti, odijelo za pohvalu mjesto duha tužnoga, da se prozovu hrastovi pravde, sad Gospodnji za slavu njegovu.
4 And they will rebuild the deserted places of past ages, and they will raise up the ruins of antiquity, and they will repair the desolate cities, which had been dissipated for generation after generation.
I oni æe sazidati davnašnje pustoline, podignuæe stare razvaline i ponoviæe gradove puste, što leže razvaljeni od mnogo naraštaja.
5 And foreigners will stand up and will pasture your flocks. And the sons of sojourners will be your farmers and the workers of your vineyards.
I tuðini æe stajati i pasti stada vaša, i inostranci æe biti vaši oraèi i vinogradari.
6 But you yourselves will be called the priests of the Lord. It will be said to you, “You are the ministers of our God.” You will eat from the strength of the Gentiles, and you will pride yourself on their glory.
A vi æete se zvati sveštenici Gospodnji, sluge Boga našega govoriæe vam se, blago naroda ješæete i slavom njihovom hvaliæete se.
7 Instead of your double confusion and shame, they will praise their portion. Because of this, they will possess double in their land. Everlasting joy will be for them.
Za dvostruku sramotu vašu, i što se pjevaše: rug je dio njihov, zato æe u zemlji njihovoj naslijediti dvojinom i imaæe vjeènu radost.
8 For I am the Lord, who loves judgment and who holds hatred for robbery within a burnt offering. And I will turn their work into truth, and I will forge a perpetual covenant with them.
Jer ja Gospod ljubim pravdu i mrzim na grabež sa žrtvom paljenicom, i daæu im platu uistinu, i vjeèan zavjet uèiniæu s njima.
9 And they will know their offspring among the nations, and their progeny in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them: that these are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
I sjeme æe se njihovo znati u narodima i natražje njihovo meðu plemenima; ko ih god vidi poznaæe ih da su sjeme koje je blagoslovio Gospod.
10 I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, and my soul will exult in my God. For he has clothed me with the vestments of salvation, and he has wrapped me in the clothing of justice, like a groom arrayed with a crown, and like a bride adorned with her jewels.
Veoma æu se radovati u Gospodu, i duša æe se moja veseliti u Bogu mojem, jer me obuèe u haljine spasenja i plaštem pravde ogrte me kao kad ženik namjesti nakit i kao kad se nevjesta uresi uresom svojim.
11 For as the earth brings forth its seedlings and the garden produces its seeds, so will the Lord God bring forth justice and praise in the sight of all the nations.
Jer kao što iz zemlje raste bilje i u vrtu nièe što se posije, tako æe Gospod Bog uèiniti da nikne pravda i pohvala pred svijem narodima.
